were excluded from govern-
ment restraint program,
Jean Young says, "home-
makers in Huron County
have not received the rate
increase given .to govern-
ment workers at the lower
end of the wage scale".
The agency's fee was in-
cluded in the restrain pro-
gram restricting it to 5 per
cent increase which only
covers increases in U.I.C.
and Workmen's Compensa-
tion. Young went on to say
that many agencies in Ont-
ario feel they may not survive
this year and certainly not
next year if the restraint
program continues.
A meeting is being ar-
ranged by the Ontario Assoc-
iation of Visiting Homemak-
ers Services and Premier
Davis's office with the Min-
istry of Community and
Social Services to discuss
these concerns.
